Brain stem glioma is a distinct category of central nervous system tumor because of its unique location and behavior. The histology of brain stem gliomas spans the spectrum of gliomas located elsewhere in the central nervous system. The cause of these tumors is still unknown.
An infection caused by strep or staph bacteria can lead to toxic shock syndrome. These bacteria are common and usually don't cause problems. But in rare cases, the toxins enter the bloodstream and cause a severe immune reaction. This reaction causes the symptoms of TSS.
TSS symptoms appear very quickly and are often severe. These include a sudden high fever, usually over 39 degrees C, vomiting, diarrhoea, a sun burn like rash, dizziness or fainting. However, not all TSS cases are exactly alike, and not all of these symptoms are always present. If you start to show one or more of these symptoms during your period, take out the tampon, if you're using one, and consult your doctor immediately.
